Every time action is taken against the families of high-profile politicians, there are some who raise a hue and cry. Mostly, this is to browbeat agencies or stall such actions. Remember how goons smashed Kangana Ranaut’s house at the behest of a political party. The governments in the country are run as per provisions of the Constitution, and if Uddhav Thackeray feels that injustice is meted out to him, there are higher courts where he can seek relief. Threatening, on the other hand, is tantamount to disregarding constitutional provisions. The Central government must not interfere in the working of Enforcement Directorate. It should be ensured that action is taken against erring individuals after proper groundwork and not through vindictive politics. When matters take political colour, it would be desirable if the ED briefs the media and apprises people about the facts of the case so that no accused can seek the sympathy of the masses.
